That mind-independent objects do not exist because it is impossible to conceive of them
See Diodorus Cronus § Master argument for the classical master argument related to the problem of future contingents.
The master argument is George Berkeley's argument that mind-independent objects do not exist because it is impossible to conceive of them.[1] The argument is against the intuitions that many have and has been widely challenged. The term "Berkeley's master argument" was introduced by Andre Gallois in 1974.[2] His term has firmly become currency of contemporary Berkeley scholarship.
